2012 Season
ColoRED
by Tina Schöbel and Frank Bednarsky
Under the name 'coloRED' the 'Schauspielgruppe des Anglistischen Seminars' shows an original theatre-dance production. The play takes the visitor on a journey through different situations and states of relationships. The colored mixture of scenes, whose contents are somehow familiar to us all, lives from the alteration of different stories and feelings as well as from spoken and danced parts. The play randomly chooses one story, focuses on it for one moment and leaves it a bit later to follow a new storyline. Creating a kaleidoscope of various stories the play tells us about romantic relationships, which are not connected directly but which are somehow different sides of one and the same tale.
